Title: Phase-Vanishing Method with Gaseous Reagents Generated and Consumed in the System

Abstract: The “Phase-Vanishing” (PV) method utilizes the physical phenomena that fluorous media are inert, immiscible to mostly organic solvents, and that fluorous solvents are generally denser than usual organic media, but that there are many useful reagents that are even denser than fluorous media.  The PV methods have been applied to many classical and important organic reactions. In this paper, we will describe a new type of reactions using the PV method, namely utlizing gaseous reagents which are generated and consumed in the system.
